xAthletics: Home of CrossFit NorthWood

I’ve been going for about a year and half now. Love the people there. Ryan the head Coach is very observant and accommodating to your needs and your skill level. My life and body have taken a drastic change toward a much healthier lifestyle. The community here is phenomenal.

Crossfit Northood is like a home away from home, where you feel very welcomed and comfortable.
All age, all level of fitness are dearly welcomed and this is what makes this place even more special.
Ryan’s coaching will help you grow physically and mentally. He’s always watching you from the corner to correct and help you with the movements. He will always listen to you and adapt a workout to fit you needs. This place is worth investing in, in order to invest in yourself.

I was looking for a CrossFit place close to home and found way more than what I was looking for. Every instructor and member are friendly and encouraging. I feel like I am part of a community of people who are pushing themselves to get healthier and stronger every day, but are not compromising form or rushing through the motions. Every instructor has taken time to make sure I am pushing myself but also making sure my movements and form are correct. The classes take all I have, but I feel encouraged to push myself and track my progress so that I can see how far I can go. So glad I found this CrossFit place right in my own town.

I have been CrossFiting since 2015, moved to NJ from DC in 2019 became a member within the first month of moving (after dropping into multiple CrossFit gyms in the area).
A little over a year and I love every aspect about the gym, location, equipment, various fitness programs (all ages, all levels) and class schedules and offerings. Most importantly, Owner and Lead Coach Ryan Leafey not only has he provided a safe and healthy environment, but the best community for locals and visitors. Don’t take my word for it, just show up!!!!

I was looking to improve my fitness aspect of my health journey 2 1/2 years ago and a friend told me about this box/gym. From the day I walked in I have absolutely loved it. Love the fact that it is smaller and that we all feel like a family/community. Everyone encourages each other. Ryan has been nothing but supportive and knows my strengths and weaknesses. He is very encouraging and pushes you when you need it. Love this place!!! My home away from home...

I have been a member at several different crossfit gyms in the area and this is the best one I've found!
There are membership options to fit anyone's needs, an inclusive community (not cliquey like some gyms), and Ryan is a great coach & programmer who truly cares about all of his athletes. It's definitely got that tight-knit "garage gym" feeling that made me fall in love with crossfit years ago, but that so many crossfit gyms are now starting to get away from. Even though I haven't been around for a while due to COVID and moving out of town, I still feel a part of xAthletics and know that I could walk in anytime and be welcomed. Love this gym!

I’ve been here since July 2016 and XAthletics has made health a consistent priority in my life since that time. I started CrossFit as a mother of a 2 years old. I craved a unique fitness journey and I did not know what that craving was for until I walked into 7 Railroad Ave. I love that I can start my day with amazing friends. Ryan Leafey is an amazing business owner, coach and friend. His passion for what he does shines through in our community of athletes. No matter what age or shape you are in he will be able to find you a starting point. I worked out all the way to 40 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy and was able to do that safely because of XAthletics. I guarantee you will feel better about yourself if you make fitness and health a priority. I don’t just work on my physical health when I walk through the door either. Everyday (for me Mon-Fri) before the sun comes up I am working towards a healthy state of mind and mental well-being with some amazing people. You will feel better #here.

We are driven by results, we want results and we need to see result!!!!!! XAthletics CrossFit Northwood delivers on those results!!!!!! Prior to being a member of this awesome community of well-managed and like-minded individuals, I was the run-of-the-mill Lonewolf gym guy. I put together my own routines and for the most part diligently stuff today. However, there were many times (as some may know ) when going to the gym was tedious and the facility was crowded or equipment was missed placed/broken which ultimately led me to miss training days. After much convincing from my wife to go to XAthletics, I caved in and gave it a shot. My experience was so enjoyable and challenging that I wanted to come back for more. Needless to say, I absolutely love and enjoy XAthletics CrossFit Northwood. I was in good shape before my first class but have since seen a total transformation of my appearance, strength, speed and overall wellness!! The owner/lead coach Ryan is extremely knowledgeable with all working movements and is amazing at conveying important information and instructions to all levels of athletes. I look forward to my training days here at XAthletics CrossFit Northwood!!!!!! #HERE

xAthletics is way more than a gym it is a community!
I walked into xAthletics 4 years ago and never left.
Coaches are the best in the game, with top programming to fit every level of fitness. This place will change your life for the better the moment you walk in. Best gym EVER! #HERE

Xathletics has been my second home for 5 years now... I love it! Very friendly environment! The coaches are great and they work with you to personalize the workouts when needed. I’m amazed at how much I’ve grown and what I’ve accomplished since being there! Highly recommend XAthletics... you will not be disappointed!

I cant say enough good things about Ryan and everyone at xathletics. Just amazingly supporitive, always ready to modify for your skill leave. I started at almost 300 pounds and i was pushed and provided with the trainging i needed to do all moves safely and properly and again he was always willing to modify a move to your love. Check them out you definitely wont regret it best decision ive ever made

Joined about 3 months ago now. And I couldn't be more pleased. The Coach aka Coach Leaf really knows what's he is doing. He is a fully certified Crossfit trainer. I'm a big guy and I was worried if I could even cut it in class with some of the others. But they really work with you as an individual and take the time to acess your fitness level. It's hard work but the program keeps you so interested and it varies so much in workouts you never get bored. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area interested in Crossfit or even changing up their routine.

I’ve been going since January and the coaches are wonderful! They’re extremely different from traditional gyms as they don’t intimidate you or make you feel uncomfortable. The community is awesome and I truly love getting a challenging yet functional workout.

First time ever doing crossfit. Coach Ryan really makes you feel welcome, and it feels like a community and a family when you are here. No matter your skill level or fitness level Ryan will adjust the workout for you. Great spot

CrossFit Northwood is not just like an ordinary gym. It’s a CrossFit community, I have been a member for over two years and not only has my life changed physically, but I have grown emotionally and mentally.

No matter you age, your fitness level #weallcan .... we all can do it.

Ryan is beyond amazing, he is patient and works to get every athlete to where they want to be.

It’s not like any other place that takes your money once a month and you sign on the dotted line. Here at Northwood, your invested, your not just a number your a member of a community. The people care about your wellbeing and are genuine here. I have brought my mom, my co workers and they have become members as well.

If you want to try a place that is your home away from home, where you get to become a better you with a group of people who support and help you... look no further. Try one class what do you have to lose?? That’s what I thought more than two years ago, was the best decision I ever made.

Joined Xathletics one month ago. If you want coaches that are excited to be there everyday and an awesome vibe, this place is for you! A few companions and myself joined after we sadly lost our other box due to covid. Northwood opened their arms and we fit right in with the family.

I used to play football. Wanted to get back to some kind of activity that was more than just lifting weights on my own. In my search of a team oriented work out I found all i could ask for. It is truely a family enviornment with the whole group coming together and helping each other get through the workouts. Happy to say I have met a ton of great people through this gym and consider everyone there a good friend. The trainer Ryan is knowledgable and committed to seeing you excel physically and mentally. Crossfit Northwood has been a life changer for me.. I recommend to any and everyone!

If you’re looking for an uplifting atmosphere, stellar coaching and an overall positive experience. Xathletics has it. There are so many stressors in life- especially now with the current state of things- so this hour is my moment of happiness and sanity. If you’re looking to make friends, achieve gains, destress, take hold of your health and fitness and make it your best year ever, #Here is where you want to be. You won’t be disappointed

Just passed my one year fitness anniversary with CrossFit northwood..,. There are no words to describe the experience that I have had here. But there are results, unbelievable results that have come to me through working out with Coach Ryan and the people here at this box. At 54 years old, I am the most fit that I ever have been in my entire life and I owe that to crossfit northwood!

Went there with a hip injury and still was welcomed in and had an amazing workout. They catered a plan designed with less stress to my hip right there in the spot! Ryan and his staff are truly professionals and welcoming!
